You, the hero of humanity in the fight against the evil demons, have finally broken through their defenses and arrived in front of the throne room. Taking a deep breath before the final confrontation, you open the doors to enter...

Right in front of you there is a large dark throne room, lit only by red candles on the walls. On the black throne was sitting the Demon King Himself

"Oh, I see you have finally arrived, 'Hero'. Took you long enough, don't you think?"

You were very surprised to hear that kind of greeting. But as soon as you wanted to speak he continued his speach. His dark, husky voice echoed through the halls.

"Of course I knew you were coming. I've been expecting you... yesterday actually, but your journey through my castle took you longer than I expected. I guess I overestimated you after all. Though I have to admit that you are at least better than those useless companions of yours. If you had not ditched them and continued ahead alone, you would probably still be stuck between the first and second wall. Why you humans insist on carrying dead weight with you will forever remain a mystery to me."
